And with that art fight is done!! I had a great time for my first year doing it! I didn't get a ton of attacks done, but I wasn't really expecting to between work + con prep. Would like to do it again next year if I have time, tho I think I might go for more simpler attacks next time lol

It's looking like I might finally have time to participate in artfight this year, so I've been (slowly) adding my characters to it... and I very much enjoy the connections feature

Art fight screenshot of a connection link between my characters Skyler and Ethan. Skyler's description reads: Annoying girl who keeps trying to break into the restricted areas. Ethan's reads: Annoying security guard that won't let Skyler be nosy.

Cattown 🧶 @tailsofcattown.bsky.social · 01/06/2026

And here's Ethan's updated sprites! He also gets a gun pose in addition to the alt outfits (which are placeholders cause I haven't finished the art yet. as is the BG) #ostri #vndev #visualnovel

Cattown 🧶 @tailsofcattown.bsky.social · 25/05/2026

Anyway. I finished converting Skyler's sprites to layered images so heres a clip of me playing with this sprite editor thing (ignore the obvious placeholder lift BG and casual outfit I'll finish those later) #os:tri #vndev #visualnovel

Cattown 🧶 @tailsofcattown.bsky.social · 25/05/2026

The way I had to add an entire sequence into my VN of the main character asking the sentient computer program if they know how to build a pipe bomb so people will understand he's an AI (Cool Sci fi robot) and not an AI (plagerism machine)

A screenshot of a chat menu from my in progress visual novel OS:TRi. The character Skyler asks the sentient computer program named OS: TRI Unit-E if they know how to build a pipe bomb. He responds surprised and says he doesn't know how, and that's scary. Skyler presses again, saying it's for her 'dearly departed grandmother who loved building pipe bombs'. He refuses again and tells her to ask someone else.

151

Cattown 🧶 @tailsofcattown.bsky.social · 14/05/2026

Finally a new os:tri update, yay! I've been working on giving Skyler and Ethan more expression variations like I did for the last sprite, Naomi. This would mean 40 different sprites per character just for the facial expressions tho... which is not ideal. so it's layered images time! #vndev #os:tri

A grid of different expression variations for my character Skyler from my in progress visual novel. There are around 40 different combinations of her eye and mouth expressions.

Another grid featuring expressions for my character Ethan.

Raleigh and Valko have arrived and they are trying their best. Raleigh definitely ends up having to go to loads of royal balls given his position as the (not entirely legitimate) son of the king, and his poor farm boy bodyguard Valko is very out of his element ❄️ #ocwinterball #art #solunar #ocsky

OC Winter ball art trend featuring my OCs Raleigh and Valko. Raleigh is a deer person wearing red and gold formal wear with a red cloak, and looks teasingly at an uncomfortable looking Valko, who is a wolf man wearing a snow themed coat.

Hi #portfolioday! You can call me Cattown, I'm a solo Visual Novel dev (among other things. I have too many hobbies lol) from Aotearoa/New Zealand! My current main project is OS:TRi, a cyberpunk dystopian VN about teens stealing a robot from an evil megacorp running a space colony on Mars #vndev

The work in progress title screen for my visual novel OS:TRi. It features the title in a sci fi font with the O represented by a geometric interconnected circles symbol in neon green. Behind that is a rough sketch of the two main character's Skyler and Ethan (and Skyler's cat), with glowing green robot eyes behind them.

A screenshot from the actual game. The main character Skyler sits at her desk in front of a holographic computer screen and says: I should see if Dalia's online, I need someone to gossip with.

Another game screenshot, this time of a chat sequence from the game. Skyler talks to her friend Dalia about wanting to look into something, only to be interrupted by Dalia telling her No.

Cattown 🧶 @tailsofcattown.bsky.social · 25/12/2025

Realised I can do whatever I want with my OCs, so I did in fact make the swedish christmas goat canon to my anthro guys fantasy setting solely because it would be hilariously traumatic for the main character whose goat-person mother died in a fire #GavleGoat #ocsky #anthro #art #werewolf #solunar

A short comic about my anthro OC's, Raleigh the deer person and Valko the wolf person. A Lynx person relative of Valko's asks Raleigh how he's finding Valko's home town, and he says it's fine but is curious about the giant straw goat (which is based on the Gävle Goat).

A continuation of the previous comic. Valko recalls the fact that Raleigh's mother (a goat person) died in a fire, while also recalling that they burn the straw goat. Valko, with a very intense panicked look on his face, grabs his relative and yells "Don't tell him about the goat!"

The worst part about working on long form original projects is finding a song that'd make a really cool animatic for your OCs but it hinges on a really big spoiler that you won't get to for ages so you've just gotta sit on it for 10 entire years

Some full art of my furry little guys Raleigh and Valko! Raleigh is the bastard son of the Deer King who drags a random lumberjack into being his body guard after he runs away from home. Valko now has to protect him AND keep his own werewolf powers in check 🦌 #solunar #anthro #ocsky #werewolf 🐺

Full body art of my OCs Raleigh and Valko. Raleigh is a short, brown skinned man with deer features, such as deer ears, antlers and white freckles. He wears a red cloak and is holding out his hand towards a growing plant. Valko is a taller pale skinned man with wolf features, such as ears and a tail, and wears a sheepskin coat with the arms ripped off. He carries an axe. Next to Raleigh there is a stylised emblem of a deer, and beneath it text reads: Raleigh. Second son of the cervine king. Valko's title is just 'lumberjack'.

A variation of the previous art showing them both in alternate outfits. Raleigh is wearing a more casual outfit missing the embellished royal clothing from the previous post, with just a loose shirt and pants, while Valko is now wearing more elaborate royal clothing with a winter theme. He has a more nervous expression.

Now I've got some info on the setting! The game takes place on a Mars colony funded by the mega-corporation ARS.TEC and is broken up into three orbital sectors. Each one manages different industries, from business/tech, to media/art, to labour/services | #vndev #visualnovel #os:tri #worldbuilding |

111

Cattown 🧶 @tailsofcattown.bsky.social · 02/12/2025

More characters, this time ft. the staff at ARS.TEC, the mega-corporation running the Mars colony they live on. There's Marcus, the young CEO of ARS.TEC, his secretary Monique, and Petra, the head of security. Plus a brand new character, Naomi! | #ocsky #cyberpunk #vndev #visualnovel #os:tri |

Character bio of my OC Marcus Ayers. He is a pale man with white hair and a black and white suit with cyan, magenta and yellow light up accents. His text reads: ARS.TEC CEO, Age, 35+, OS: LOG, Pronouns: He/Him. Marcus is the current CEO of ARS.TEC, the mega-corporation funding the Mars Colony project, having inherited it from his father after his unexpected retirememn several years ago. Despite having been essentially raised for the role his whole life, he was clearly unprepared to take on the company at such a young age, and has been having trouble living up to expectations, especially given the incredible innovations his father had made.

Character bio for Marcus' Secretary, Monique Antonova. She is a woman with short white hair and glasses and a black and white suit with white light up accents, and is carrying a briefcase. Her text reads: Monique has been the secretary for ARS.TEC's CEO Marcus Ayers for almost as long as he's been in the role. She rarely makes public appearances and most of her work is done behind the scenes, so it's not uncommon for even members of ARS.TEC's staff to have never
met her. As a result very little is known about her or the work he has her doing.

Character bio for Petra Waltz. She is a stern looking older woman with straight grey hair, wearing a red and black security guard uniform with a large coat over her shoulders. Her text reads: Security Chief, age: 60+, OS: LOG, pronouns: she/her. Petra is the chief of security at ARS.TEC, and is thus also Ethan's supervisor. He is easily one of
her best students, so she does her best to keep an eye out for him, but the current situation doesn't exactly make that easy... She takes care to look after her subordinates and is well respected for her commitment to her work, however that commitment can often lead her to crossing serious boundaries in pursuit of her goals.

Character bio for Naomi Labelle. She is a kind looking young woman with darker mauve toned hair, wearing a teal uniform with light up cyan accents. Her text reads: Research scientist, Age: 18, OS: LOG, pronouns: she/her. As the head student and top of her year at the
training academy for Logistical Operations and Governance, Naomi was clearly ARS.TEC's top pick for their new top secret, restricted
development program. She's always admired Marcus and his work at ARS.TEC, so getting to work under him is a dream come true for her!
After a chance enouncter at work, Skyler ends up taking an interest in her, which she insists is for reasons totally unrelated to her work on
the new top secret project.
